The hotel motif is very modern. Clean and simple lines. Really liked the gym. Very well equipped and fairly clean. The people who use the equipment seem to be cleaning after themselves. I liked the cafe downstairs as they had what I would eat on my special diet. I booked a room with a view and we had a view of the bridge and the boat harbor. The hotel next door had major renovation so we entertained ourselves watching the workers walk around and move stuff around with equipment.

I know CA has water shortage but the sink water pressure was ridiculously low. So much so that the water temp would not reach warm. I ended up using the shower for brushing my teeth. The garage does not accomedate large cars which made it difficult to park the Suburban, not XL just normal size. There are some spots but the compact cars park there and 90% of the parking spots are really compact. The stairs in the parking structure need to be cleaned and aired out they have an intense urine smell. We like to take the stairs but kept with the elevator for that reason.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The spa was amazing. The room was very nice and the view from the room was terrific. We enjoyed the pool, too.

The over priced brunch at the hotel restaurant. The only thing that was hot was the eggs from the omelet station. Serious work needs to be done to keep the rest of the hot food hot.

Location was great. Room was clean and up to date. Calling for the free airport shuttle was easy.

Breakfast was not included because of a third party rule that cancelled out my offer because I booked through another major website. Found that out after I got there and checked in. Also, they charged me $150 as some sort of security deposit in case I damage something. I had to report the damages that were already in my room so I wouldn't get charged. Would have been nice to know about that beforehand even though I wasn't charged.

The atmosphere was upscale and classy, felt great staying at a great hotel. Room service was a little steep (typical...) but the food was delicious - the staff recommended some foods that were spot on.
Room decor was great, modern and classy. Hardwood floors made it feel a little upscale.

The bathroom is just a total mess. Shower head position is too low for anyone 5'5" or taller - requiring you to use the head manually (why???).
Bathroom door is a sliding door but doesn't exactly provide too much privacy since you can see through the cracks - perfect angle if you want to watch your friend on the toilet...
Iron was awful - took way too long and was just cheap overall or needed replacing.
Cleanliness was awkward - arrived at the hotel (6pm) and was told our room needs to be cleaned. We arrived in the room, saw the hardwood floors were soaking wet (slipping lawsuit anyone?) and found residual items from the previous guests.
Would be nice to upgrade those 2003 radios to the new iphone 5 or usb players...

The decor was very modern

Staff was rude, the room was very small.
Pool was closed for a wedding on Saturday, they told us we could walk six blocks to their sister hotel to swim, not interested.
Wedding party was loud, disruptive.
When we spoke to the manager to express our concern his response was "NO, the noise is not coming from the wedding party on the 4th floor."
We called Kempton Hotels to express our concern, they said a manager would call us back. We did not ever receive a call back.
We will not be staying at a Kempton Hotel in the future

With a stay at Omni San Diego Hotel, you'll be centrally located in San Diego, steps from Petco Park and minutes from San Diego Convention Center. This 4-star hotel is close to Balboa Park and San Diego Zoo.

Facilities were very well kept. Room was very nice, and looked out over the Bay Area. Great location to GasLamp Quarter, restaurants, and connects to Petco Park. Great proximity to the convention center. Staff was accommodating. Concierge and valet staff were very knowledgeable on good places to eat/see in San Diego and other surrounding vicinities such as La Jolla, Coronado, etc. Also, got a little discount on zoo tickets by purchasing them at the hotel.

Valet parking is a little steep. They charge $40.00/day. I agree they should charge for the service as its quicker and easier for someone to park your car and bring it to you, but $40.00/day is a little high. On the upside, you can use it as much as you want.

It was fine. Just fine. But. The room was so so small as was the bathroom. I guess understandably as it's an old building.
That said, I would have been uncomfortable sharing the room with another person due to size. And I spent most of my time at another friends hotel.
I wouldn't' be upset to stay here again, but I wouldn't choose to if that makes sense.
So basically just know that it's small. Maybe not all the rooms are. But if it's an issue for you, I would absolutely call and talk to them before booking.

The hotel was clean and modern, what I would expect from a down town hotel. There was advertised parking but it was valet and an extra 40+$. Nothing extravagant, aveda products, ample space, modern touches, restaurant and bar on site. In gaslamp quarter perfect for walking any where. Every thing was clean

No parking, they have valet. It's 40+$. Views of other buildings, down town standard. Thermostat didn't bother me, but was a bit warm for my partner.

It was quiet and close enough to walk to the trolley and other activities in the gaslamp area. Liked the security of the elevator requiring the key card to go up to the room. Staff was friendly.

Parking is too expensive so we didn't feel like we could afford to rent one to get around. The restaurant coffee was too expensive. More than Starbucks.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Facilities are well maintained and clean.

Parking is a bit tight, but if you use the shuttle bus you don't have to drive.

With a stay at The Lafayette Hotel, Swim Club & Bungalows, you'll be centrally located in San Diego, convenient to Mission Valley Mall and San Diego Zoo. This hotel is close to Balboa Park and University of San Diego.

Laid back living in San Diego

San Diego sits on the coast of the Pacific Ocean in California, just north of the border with Mexico. Its mild climate is ideal for enjoying the picturesque beaches and large range of outdoor activities. Although the city is large, the atmosphere is relatively laid-back, providing visitors an opportunity to relax while savouring the diverse culture and vibrant nightlife.

Beaches and the great outdoors

San Diego has no shortage of things to do. With long stretches of coastline, from Imperial Beach in the south to Mission Beach further north, the first point of call for many tourists is to jump right in to some outdoor activity. Try your hand at sailing, windsurfing, jet skiing, boating and scuba diving, or take a surf lesson from a pro. For something a little more chilled out, swim in a secluded cove or join a harbour cruise for some sightseeing and whale watching. The harbour cruises also provide spectacular views of the downtown area, a peek at the Pacific Fleet and a great perspective of the towering Coronado Bridge. On and over land, explore the natural landscape with biking, hiking, rock climbing or hang-gliding.

Balboa Park, with its expansive grounds containing museums, parks, gardens and neo-classical Spanish architecture, is a popular tourist attraction. San Diego Zoo is also located within Balboa Park, adding to the must-see status of the area. Take a stroll through the Old Town neighbourhoods and admire the well-preserved buildings and icons of San Diego’s Spanish heritage and watch a living history performance. Shops and restaurants are scattered around the Old Town, making the area a lovely spot for an evening out. Be sure to try a craft beer from one of the local brewers. If you have time, check out the Point Loma Lighthouse for panoramic sunset views over the city and Pacific Ocean, or duck over the border to Mexico to party in Tijuana.

Booking your stay in San Diego

San Diego has a range of accommodation to suit most budgets. For big spenders, Luxury high-rise hotels can be found downtown, and opulent resorts along the coast at Coronado, Point Loma, La Jolla and Ocean Beach. Mid-range options are available in the numerous vacation rentals and beach cottages at Mission Beach and Pacific Beach. Hotel Circle in Mission Valley is an excellent place to book a stay in a well-known chain hotel. Hostels are easy to find Downtown for an inexpensive visit.

Fly in and make your own way around

San Diego International Airport is less than 5km from the downtown area and services an extensive list of domestic flights, as well as international flights from London, Tokyo, Toronto and several cities within Mexico. Given the closeness to the city, taking a taxi from the airport is a cheap option. There is also an Airport Flyer Bus that delivers commuters directly downtown and a number of door-to-door shuttle companies. If you can navigate your way out of the airport infrastructure, driving to the city centre takes roughly ten minutes. Trains run directly to San Diego from Los Angeles along the Pacific Surfliner route and the train station is within walking distance of downtown hotels. Once in the city, the Metropolitan Transit System buses and the San Diego Trolley (light rail) provide adequate connections across most of the region. The best way to get around and take advantage of the beautiful weather is to rent a bike and explore on your own.
